Bliar is suggesting that political parties should get more state cash according to the BBC report today.
Political parties could get access to “greater levels” of public finance, the man reviewing funding arrangements for the prime minister has suggested.
I see. These are the people who have so disenfranchised the electorate and their own supporters that they verge on bankruptcy. Whose fault is that? Ours, it seems. Not theirs. Not the people who are currently being investigated for selling peerages, not the cynical bastards who betrayed every ounce of decency they may have once had. No, it is we, the electorate who are to blame. Well, those who bothered to vote, presumably and those who were vapid enough to vote for Princess Toni and his bunch of thieving bandits despite the evidence of two terms in office. Oh, but, we must be aware that this is all so necessary for the preservation of our moth-eaten democracy:
Sir Hayden Phillips warns that “we cannot have a healthy democracy for nothing”, in an interim report due to be published on Thursday.
You stupid, stupid man! Of course we can have a democracy for nothing. If the political parties engage with the electorate and encourage activists, they will be self supporting. Having betrayed the trust of that electorate and frittered away the support and subscriptions income from activists, you, you nincompoop, want to reward their arrogant conceit with money from the tax payer’s coffers. How bloody dare you!
Labour and the Conservatives have said they are in broad agreement with him.
Well, yes, they would. They are all swine from the same farm feeding from the same trough. Except that swine display more honour, honesty, dignity and decency in one trotter than this bunch of thieving, lying arseholes between them.
